Roasted Tomato Basil Soup image

Fresh, homemade Tomato Basil Soup. Roasting the tomatoes and onions brings out the best flavors, and it's perfect by itself or served with a gooey grilled cheese sandwich.

Yield 2-4

Number Of Ingredients 9

9 medium Roma tomatoes (halved)
1 onion (roughly chopped)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste
2 Tablespoons olive oil
14 fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese - optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Place tomatoes and onions on the baking sheet, then sprinkle with garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Toss with olive oil, then bake for 20-25 minutes, until tender.
  • In a high-powered blender, place roasted tomatoes and onions, then add the fresh basil leaves. Blend until smooth.
  • Transfer tomato mixture to a stock pot. Add in heavy cream and butter, and heat over medium heat until warmed through (make sure it doesn't boil).
  • Serve warm.
  • We like to serve ours with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh basil, and a side of grilled cheese.
